I am currently using document-level boosts, which really translates to changing the norm for every field under the covers. As part of an experiment, I want to remove the boost, but that would require either re-indexing content or changing the scoring algorithm (similarity).
If I create my own similarity, which would be identical to the default/TFIDF similarity but with the norm hardcoded to 1.0. The Lucene source warns against such behavior. I am assuming this is because it appears computeNorm is only run at index time,but shouldn't I be able to override score() and ignore the decodeNormValue calculation? Cheers, Ivan
